OUR SIDE.
The United States government
maintains that the treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands was not a mere re-
ciprocity treaty, but was in substance
a commercial contract by virtue of
which Hawaii pays a valuable con-
sideration for the admission of certain
merchandise to the ports OF the United
States.
Counsel for the importer say that If
the United States should be defeated
in this case San Domingo might be-
come the Honolulu OF the At

Brazil. Central America, Peru, Persia
and Their foreign governments would
be at liberty TO shut out American
manufactures and pr ducts from their
ports without giving us any cause for
complaint for violation of the existing
treaties. This, they say, would upset
nearly all our existing commercial
treaties with foreign powers.

RAILROADS and the Public.

Martinsburg Statesman.
We have no sympathy with that
class of people who are forever
abusing and prosecuting railroads
aud other corporations simply be-
cause they are such. Railroads
are necessary to the development
of the business interests of the
country, and are important factors
in the prosperity and rapid strides
of civilization and progress that
have so peculiarly marked the last
half century in this country, and
they are entitled to the all legisla
tive consideration ard libefality
that is consistent with the public
veal. On the other hand every re-
freeing and impartial man must
recognize the fact that the over
SHADING power of the consolidated
railroad system ofthe country needs
some restraint, and that wise con
servative legislation is required to
protect the people from the en-,
croachments Of these giant corpor-
ations upon their natural rights,
and to preserve a happy medium
between benefcent use and PERM,
cious abnse. Precisely in this line
of legislation, according to the
lights before US, is the Interstate
Commerce bill, recently passed by
both houses of Congress by large
majorities, and we doubt not that
if the provisions of the bill are car
ried out in good faith by the rail,
road companies, and jndicious &C.
lectlons are made of commissioners,
it will prove mutual benefit to
them and the public. The forma-
ton Of commission, to whom all
questions of dispute between the
compa MES and the public are to
be referred, is a wise provision, con
stituiing a board of arbitration for
the determination of all questions
at issue. The railroads will thus
be protected from frivolous and un-
reasonable prosecutions, while The
people will be relieved of the ex-
pense of enforcing their Just de-
mands. The long and short haul
feature of the bill is reasonable and
on it's face, gives Eastern pro.
ducers the advantage due to their
geographical positions, as an offset
tothe increased facilities of product
ion and the virgin fertility of Wes-
tern States, which in turn are more
distant from market, and SO the
equilibrium will be preserved be-
tween different sections. The
clause of the bill, prohibitory of
pooling, is the only way in which
the business of railroading can be
subjected TO the business principle,
involved in the axiom that cnmpe.
tition is the life of trade, and the
advantages underlying that. propo-
sition be preserved to the public.
As is natural the railroad interests
were arrayed against the passage
of the bill, and even now tremen-
dous efforts are being made to in
duce the President TO withhold his
signature, but we believe that Mr..
Cleveland will return it with his
approval, and it will forthwith be-
come the law of the land and, as
such, we hope it will be given a
fair trial.

Wetzel Democrat.
The man who is opposed TO ev-
erything and in favor of nothing,
is always in favor Of himself.
Democratic public opinion might
or might not be very compliment
tory to Dan Lucas, but it should
be forcibly expressed.
Another blizzard has swept down
from the Dakota plains. We hope
it will freeze every democrat it
catches out of the caucus-stone
dead.
We know but little personally
concerning the matter, but we do
know that there is an untold
amount of lying about Camden's
wealth.
1t is not the defeat of Camden
that will hurt the democratic par
aty but the overthrow of the es.
tablished usages and methods of
the party.
1t is pretty hard in these kicking
times to edit a democratic paper
and speak the truth about certain
leaders of the party. Bat we have
resolved never to call Dan Lucas
"a patriot and statesman again.
Lies, such as these, hang heavy on
our conscience.
Price of Mineral, wants caucus
when the caucus wants Price;
when it doesn't, Price don't want
it at any price. This legislature
seems to have two Prices instead
of one. but there are people who
think that neither of them would
be credit to a retail Jew clothing
store.

The Committee appointed to in
vestigate the management of the
Insane Hospital at Weston will
have little to do, but will put the
State to an expense in round
numbers of about $1,000. The SUI
perintendent of the Hospital has
publicaly declared that he has no
objection TO the investigation,
which is certain evidence of the
fact that he has no fears of the re-
suit. The institution is we'll and
carefully conducted, and the libel
lous SANDER against the manage
ment were originated by the Re-
publican soreheads and kickers at
Weston, who have neither in
Huence nor following where known.
For this reason, if no other, the
Democratic members of the Legis-
lature should not have permitted
the saddling of a useless expense of
$1,000 upon the State by the APP
pointment of a committee to inyes.
tigate unfounded charges, preferred
through spite and envy, against the
management of the Insane Hospital.
Mark the prediction: outside of
costing the State $1,000 the COM
mittee will find its task a fruitIess
one.-Stdr.
